DEAD STREW STREETS OF LILLE AFTER BATTLE

A scene of ruin, desolation and death is this picture taken immediately after a hot encounter between some Germans and French in one of the principal streets of Lille. A company of uhlans tried to force its way through the city. As they were passing through one of the main streets they were unexpectedly confronted by a detachment of French infantry. A hot fight ensued, and after a few minutes the German uhlans were driven back with heavy losses.
